 HYDEvndE.
 -Cornelia Jane Durham, wife of Harlin G. Dunham, died suddenly at Hydeville, IS, 1925, and was consequently 61 years of age. By her sudden death the home misses an affectionate and attentive wife and mother, the community sympathiz- ing friend and worthy example, and the Methodist church at Stafordville faith ful and consistent member. The world presents few symmetrical minds and char acters. These are not always found among the worlds great heroes and heroines. They are quite as frequently found among those who ''keep the noiseless tenor of their way" Such a mind and character had sister Durham. Self f-poised, practical and thoughtful, a temper even and seldom disturbed, with nature always affection ate and attractive, as thoughtful of the welfare of others as her own, always in- dustrious and attentive to the duties of her household, and to complete and crown all a religious life deeply spiritual and prac- tical, she was, and still is, a power for good. The call was sudden and with out warning, but the coronation was in- stant and fadeless She will be greatly missed in her home, but the gates of her grave will sometime be opened toward the | skies.
